Advising by Level

Undergraduate Advising

Undergraduate students at the Webster Groves campus will be assigned a Faculty Advisor. Undergraduates taking online courses or at other campus locations will be assigned a professional advisor with the Academic Advising Center.

The Undergraduate Advising Team in the Academic Advising Center provides advising to new and transfer students, exploratory students, online students, students at the military campuses, and students on academic probation.

Undergraduate advisors also assist undergraduates with topics such as the Global Citizenship Program, elective course selection, graduation checks, minors, certificates and changing majors.

UNDERGRADUATE RESOURCES

Graduate Advising

Upon acceptance to most University graduate programs, students should schedule an appointment with their academic advisor to discuss their academic plans and to get registered.

The Graduate Advising Team in the Academic Advising Center advises students in both fully online and campus-based degree programs from the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, College of Science and Health, School of Communications, and Walker School of Business and Technology across the U.S.

Graduate students in specialized programs, such as Counseling, Nursing or Nurse Anesthesia, programs in the School of Education, programs in the College of Fine Arts, or doctoral programs should contact their program representatives directly.
